Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 15.2 tablespoons of flaxseed
- 1 tablespoon of flaxseed = 9.25g
- 15.2 × 9.25 = 140.6g
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
For the most consistent results, weigh flaxseed on a kitchen scale. Small seeds are easy to over-measure by volume.

Understanding the Units
What is a Tablespoon?
A tablespoon (tbsp) is a US customary unit of volume equal to 14.787 milliliters, 3 teaspoons, or 1/16 of a cup. It is commonly used for measuring smaller amounts of ingredients.
What is a Gram?
Weighing ingredients in grams eliminates the variability of volume measurements. A cup of flour can weigh anywhere from 120g to 160g depending on how it was scooped, but 120g of flour is always 120g of flour.
